Looks familiar?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBANEZ-J-CUSTOM-SC-3120-NT-1998-J-prestige-case-very-rare-12-only-made-/260935965679?nma=true&si=vX8K0Y9Nu8Qm2UJN906TcXwI8WY%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

It seems to me that this is a man who contacted me a couple of years ago, through some Ibanez forum.
Only our two guitars are shown publicly. Where are the other 10 ???

Anyway, the offer is extremely favorable !!!

Wow - it must be amazing to have one of only 12 guitars in the world!

The problem with this kind of guitars (Limited Edition) is how to determine the price,especially if doesn't exist an active sales..
And then I read a good point about that - guitar cost as much as someone is willing to pay for it . True !
A little history about this model: this mini-series was maded ​​only for the Japanese market. These two are somehow found its way to Europe.

Its so amazing to have a guitar with history!
How did you get in possession of it? Where did you find it?

Goregous guitar! Did you buy it, Sinisa ?

Posted by: Sinisa Cekic Sep 26 2012, 11:59 PM

It's a really interesting story. This guitar came to Belgrade from Germany. A Belgrade music dealer (mega music) has acquired 20 guitars there, with a discount. Among them was this one. Not knowing what it is, he decide to put it in the shop window with a price tag of 600 euros.Imagine now, it was in the window of 3 months, with no one seriously interested ! Ok,next...
A friend of mine, ( gear snob btw ,hehehe), saw it there and decided to buy that guitar, in agreement with the owner, for a 500 euros.

At that time I had some EVH Wolfgang model. So ,one day that friend came to me and offered me an exchange, head to head. He brought his guitar and at first glance I liked it, and I asked him what this is. On the net we couldn't find any information, we didn't know the exact model of instrument, nothing. But what attracted me is - how she lying in my hand - perfectly !

And I accepted !It didn't matter if my price was higher than his maybe, that feeling was essential !!
A few days later I sent a mail with a picture of the guitar directly to Ibanez / Japan......the rest is history !

How's friend reacted after?.... madly ! But we are still good friends




hehe Andre,I have it for several years already !

Posted by: Sinisa Cekic Sep 27 2012, 12:01 PM

Wow!! What a great story Sin, congrats man! But now I have to ask, are you going to keep it or sell it?
You know I always suspected there was something special about that guitar, maybe just because I had never seen one quite like it.

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Oct 1 2012, 01:28 PM

Good point! At some moment, I thought you had it tweaked after you bought it, as i have never seen an Ibanez with such an embroidery on its sides.

Posted by: Sinisa Cekic Oct 1 2012, 11:52 PM

I hope that will not sell it, ever. But never say never. Maybe, I say maybe, a replacement for an VOS '59

Posted by: casinostrat Oct 2 2012, 02:19 AM

The first time I seen that guitar I thought so as well, since I had never seen one with such embroidery around it. Beautiful looking guitar and also has wonderful tone.

The search is on!!! Commence scanning the planet!!

Posted by: Cosmin Lupu Oct 2 2012, 07:53 AM

Well, we would be 9 Sinisa lookalikes with that axe

Posted by: AK Rich Oct 2 2012, 09:29 PM

Hahaa true! But theres nothing wrong with being a Sinisa Clone

Posted by: Sinisa Cekic Oct 2 2012, 10:16 PM

Posted by: Bossie Oct 3 2012, 12:23 AM

Posted by: Alex Feather Oct 3 2012, 07:48 PM

Pretty cool! I like unique stuff like that! Hold on to it! It is a great guitar!

Posted by: Slavenko Erazer Oct 4 2012, 08:50 AM

What that VOS stands for? Very Old Shop?

Posted by: mroberts70 Oct 10 2012, 02:48 AM

That guitar is awesome... but isn't that like King Arthur's sword in the stone? Like I could pull that out and play it like the king... Just sayin'.
